Fat loss :: The Younique Fitness Team prefer you to think in terms of "fat loss" instead of "weight loss." The aim of getting in shape is how you look and how healthy you are. The goal should be to get leaner. This means changing your body composition so that you have less fat and more muscle. Since muscle weighs more than fat per cubic measurement, absolute weight loss should not be the sole measure of your success. The important results should be how your body looks, how your clothes fit and how you feel. A visible six pack of abs is only accomplished by both building the abdominal muscles and shedding the fat that covers them up.

Calories :: The basis for losing body fat is using more calories (an energy value of food), in daily metabolism, activity and exercise than you take in through eating and drinking. It takes about 3500 calories above those utilized to gain one pound of fat. The reverse is also the case. Using up 3500 calories above those taken into your body will cause a reduction of one pound of fat. Therefore, to effectively lose fat, the bottom line is to restrict your calorie intake and increase your calorie output. Burning fat through aerobic exercise A negative energy balance itself helps to increase your calorie burning by boosting your metabolism, a process further enhanced as you gain more lean muscle. In addition our fitness trainers work with you on an aerobic exercise program to burn fat and increase your metabolic rate. This is done either on equipment such as stairmaster, stationary bicycle, treadmill or by jogging outdoors. The aim is to sustain the aerobic activity for a minimum of 40 minutes at a time at a moderate intensity of 50 percent to 70 percent of your max heart rate. A Younique fitness trainer will help you establish this intensity level and a program of working toward your goal in increments suitable to your current fitness level.

Spot reduction of fat :: You must remember when embarking upon a fat loss campaign that spot reduction of fat is not possible. Your body gains and loses fat by way of its unique genetic programming. Unfortunately experience and research shows that the first-acquired, and usually largest, fat deposit areas are the last places that our bodies loose fat. So if your holding a lot of fat in your mid-section or in your thighs, that will likely be the last place you loose it. But don't despair, you WILL lose it. Sticking with it is the ticket. To help you do this, your personal fitness trainer also provides motivation and creates a structured program that helps anchor you through a sustained effort.
Your diet and aerobic programs will be the cornerstones of your fat loss plan.
They are created by your Younique fitness trainer only with you in mind and based on your current condition, goals, your schedule, lifestyle and simply, what will work FOR YOU.

Your genetic code :: We should point out that each of us is born with a set of genetics that determine our youniqueness. This includes our body's skeletal-muscular structure and our propensity for retaining bodyfat. Some folks don't gain much bodyfat no matter how much they eat or how little they exercise. Others are on the treadmill four days a week, just to keep fat levels constant. Some people gain muscle very easily or are able to develop particular body parts with ease. Others struggle hard to add a centimeter to their biceps.

None of us can change our basic genetic makeup. But you can work hard to take your body to its full potential and see dramatic changes regardless of genetic propensity. This is up to you and how willing you are to do the work and make the sacrifices necessary. You will get out of a training program what you put into it. Your Younique fitness trainer is there to point you in the right direction and to help you give 110 percent.
